We bought turtle cuttings off of Etsy back in December and this is their 6 month progress mark. It seems like they’re not growing at all past where they are. Can someone help and let me know if they even look okay?? Any care tips for them since they’re still babies?? We considered trying to get them into some new soil, but we’re scared their roots aren’t strong enough. The ones on the bottom stay covered most of the time since they’re definitely not as strong as the ones on the top.

I just watched this last night and he had some interesting things about slow growth.

i think mine grew about 3-4 inches in its first year with crappy sunlight and bottom water once a week. (i am in a very arid location)
the first thing i notice is that your little guy is pretty deep under the rim, so it might take more time to grow if it’s not getting adequate sunlight. you can see it starting to reach up, which is great & will probably help accelerate the growth once more strings reach over. leaves look healthy and great to me! i dont think theres any reason to change pots based on these pictures. you could easily keep it in that pot for probably 1 year depending on the health/growth.
